Two dead after building collapses in Kenya

Two people have been killed in a collapsed building in the Kenyan capital, police in Nairobi said.

Pius Masai Mwachi of the National Disaster Management Unit says a rescue operation is under way after a five-story residential building collapsed early on Sunday in Nairobi’s Huruma Ngei neighbourhood.

He said a body was pulled from the rubble and another person who was rescued alive later died.
